University Log:
The end of high school and Seven weeks off
Wow, I'm updating, and in the same week as I put the intro up, yay. Thanks to Elven Dragon Rider for the review. Wow my first review…hopefully to be followed by more…nudge, nudge wink, wink.
Anyway, a quick note on the format of the story. I felt like being weird and so I'm telling it using both third person and extracts from the characters diaries, they're probably to old and manly for diaries but hey the story wouldn't work otherwise. Extracts are in italics and have the name of the character whose extract it is right above it. But that's enough of me talking.
ONWARDS!
Prologue
"Ten minutes left and we'll never have to see this horrid boarding school again," Lindir shouted a little too loud.
"Shhh, don't anger it" Elrohir whispered
"Oh sorry"
Lindir- We have the worst head of sixth form. He has a sort of fetish for keeping people after class so we all have to be really careful. I'm sure he doesn't like me though because it always seems to be my fault when he does.
"Oh," Legolas sat up from his hunched position over his sketchbook, "Guess what."
"Aww, I hate this game" Haldir whined, "I always lose"
"Fine then, I'll just tell you. Well, I phoned the estate agent the other day" Legolas said, receiving a chorus of 'yay' and 'what did he tell you', "He said that everything's finally gone through and the house is now all ours."
"That's great!" Lindir shouted again, "Sorry."
Lindir- Okay maybe it is just always my fault.
"He said we could move in, in four weeks"
"Why can't we move in straight away?" Elladan asked
"Because we can't, I didn't ask why, we just can't okay"
Legolas- I hate estate agents!
"Dude, chill," Haldir said
"I don't like talking to estate agents, they're forever trying to rip you off and…wait…Haldir, why are you laying under our chairs?"
"Have you ever noticed all the great colours down here?"
"You mean…the chewing gum?" Melpomaen asked
"Yeah…oh, wow black"
"Where?" Mel was already on his way down to join Haldir, "Wow, I've got to find myself some of this."
"Okay…that's weird," Elladan said
Elladan- I think my friends are insane
"Eh, we've seen worse" Legolas laughed
"You mean like the time Haldir tried to tie dye his hair?" Lindir asked, "Then again, Haldir tries to tie dye everything."
"Yeah and I succeed most of the time too. How was I to know that it would just go orange? Then again it did look kind of cool."
"Sure it did." Elladan said sarcastically.
"He's right about the weirdness though, I mean come on, just look at Mel's face," Elrohir added.
"Hey, I resent that," came Melpomaen's voice from under the chairs
"I meant the piercing"
"I don't have that many"
"What do you mean not that many, lets count shall we" Legolas said
"Well, there's how many going up your left ear?" Elrohir asked
"Seven."
"And your left?"
"Only two"
"Then there's the hoop through your nose" Lindir said
"And the peircing in the centre of your lip and on each side"
"Yeah…well…shut up!"
"And what about the hoop going through your…"
"Don't you dare Legolas!"
"Oh no, dare" Elrohir said
"You can't just say that and not tell us," Lindir added
"I'm sorry but I'm sworn to secrecy."
"Then how do you know?" Elladan asked
"I just happened to walk into the bathroom at the wrong moment."
"Ewww, It's not…"
"NO! No, no, no, no, no, no and NO!" Mel screeched, "Just let it go"
Elladan- Yup, defiantly insane
"Still, I don't care how weird they both are, I still can't believe that they're laying underneath chairs. We're not kids anymore." Elladan frowned
"We may not be kids but we're not boring either."
"Oh come on Legolas. They're laying under chairs looking at 'pretty colours'"
"So…infact"
Elladan- The growing up conversation lasted for at least another five minutes and by the end of it all five of them were laying under chairs and all that came out of it was the bloody head of sixth keeping us back at the end of THE LAST DAY! I really don't understand how my brother can be taking Psychology in uni when he needs so much help himself.
"Well I think that's the last of it," Melpomaen said, they had just finished packing their belongings into their cars, well actually they had just finished packing their stuff into Elrohir's two seater, open top, vintage Aston Martin and Haldir's pink Volkswagen campervan. Legolas and his Orange Cortina were off in the opposite direction, back to Mirkwood and although Haldir was on his way back home to Lorien he said he would take the long way that passes through Rivendell so that he could take Elladan, Elrohir, Lindir and Mel's stuff seeing as Elrohir's car left little room for luggage. Elrohir was going to take Elladan as his brother couldn't drive and was the smallest threat to his car, Haldir was going to take Melpomaen as he couldn't drive either and Lindir was to drive his moped.
"I can't believe we're leaving." Elrohir said
"I know, it's like the end of an era," Haldir added
"Not a very good era, but an era all the same" Legolas laughed
"So what are you guys up to over the holiday?" Elladan asked
"Shut up Elladan, your just gona depress me!" Elrohir turned to the others, "He's planned our whole seven weeks"
"Oh Elladan! Don't worry Elrohir, as soon as the house is ready we can drive up and start decorating and I'm sure Mel and Lindir will come and visit even if Haldir and I can't"
"Aww, thanks Legolas" Elrohir looked at his brother, "I bet if he was my brother I wouldn't want to hurt myself right now."
"What! Come on Ro, if I don't plan ahead then you'll just spend seven weeks wearing baggy t-shirts and pyjama bottoms while watching TV, eating, playing on game consoles and just generally wasting air."
"No I wouldn't."
"Um, yes you would."
"Erm, no I wouldn't."
"You so would."
"I so would not."
"Oh face it Elrohir, you probably would." Lindir said, "Though I don't see what's wrong with that, it's all I plan on doing" He added to the agreement of the others.
"Exactly" said a smug looking Elrohir
With the argument over the group said goodbye to Legolas before starting on the long drives back to their respective homes.
Elladan- They're all just so lazy sometimes, what a waste of time.
